1328 Gathering (1/2)

Based on the speed of the mussel, it would have drilled about 1,000 meters into the ground. If it had brought Di Fuyi to the roots of the banana-milk tree, they must currently be very deep underground. She might not even find a shred of his clothes even if she dug the ground with an excavator.

...

Nine days had passed since Di Fuyi had gone missing. It felt very fast given the fact that everyone was busy. Time had passed in the blink of an eye.

However, Gu Xijiu felt that it was somewhat quite a long time. There had been no news about Di Fuyi in the past nine days. She had searched everywhere, but even a strand of his hair could not be found. Meanwhile, she was unable to contact the mussel too. It seemed like he was gone for good.

Usually, Lu Wu had a special connection with the mussel. As long as their distance was within ten miles of each other, they were able to connect with one another in their own way.

This time around, however, Lu Wu was unable to sense the existence of the mussel too. Gu Xijiu could only wait for him until the nine days were up.

...

It was their day of gathering. They ignited a bonfire and hung up the meat rack. The air was filled with the smell of meat.

The bonfire that they had lit this time around was exceptional. The wood that was used to light the fire was a particular kind of fragrant wood that was collected from the mountain. The meat that was grilled with this kind of aromatic lumber would have a distinctive flavor, which tasted very delicious.

The meat that they grilled this time was rather exceptional too. It was the meat of the evil dragon that they killed several days ago. The dragon's meat tasted very delicious, and it had a slightly tender texture too. Though its meat was already ten days old, it had not rotten. On the contrary, the aroma of the meat had gotten more lovely. If it were some other meat, it would have rotted by now. Everyone was quite surprised by this discovery.

The women who were in charge of cooking that day cooked the meat using various styles. There were stewed, fried, and even roasted meats. The gathering today was, in fact, a feast of the evil dragon's meat.
